[00:00:10]
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH YEAR. 2021 WE'RE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 2 22 NORTH TENNESSEE STREET, GREAT CITY OF MCKINNEY WHERE WE ARE IN A CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION, THE FIRST ORDER OF
[PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS]
BUSINESS. HIS PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS. I DO NOT SHOW ANYONE HAS SIGNED UP. YES, I DO. I TAKE THAT BACK. NINA DOWELL RINGLEY. WHAT'S THAT? YES. COME ON UP. WE'RE GONNA SINCE THERE'S ONLY TWO OF THEM. HAVE YOU SPEAK NOW, IF THAT'S OKAY. BROUGHT PARTY FAVORS, ALL RIGHT. HELLO. I'M NINA DOWELL RINGLEY. AND I RECENTLY ATTENDED AN EVENT THAT I BROUGHT PARTY FAVORS BACK FOR ALL OF YOU. IT WAS LAST SATURDAY. IT WAS ON. UM I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UM, SURE YOU ALL KNOW THIS BUT 100 AND 75 YEARS AGO. THAT WAS WHEN COLLIN COUNTY. BECAME A COUNTY 175 YEARS AGO. SO THERE WAS AN EVENT LAST SATURDAY IN ANNA, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENS DANCE BECAUSE I WAS THERE FOR ANOTHER EVENT THAT I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND, UM. NATHAN WHITE JUDGE WHITE, HE GAVE OUT HISTORIC COMMISSION AWARDS TO PEOPLE THAT FOR THE YEAR AND SO WE WERE THERE SUPPORTING OUR MUSEUM MEMBER PAT ROGERS. AND THEN AFTER WE WERE INVITED TO THE UNVEILING OF THE COLLIN MCKINNEY STATUTE THERE, AND ANNA SO WHAT I DID IS THERE WAS A LOT OF GREAT SPEAKERS. IT WAS DEFINITELY. UM IT WAS A REALLY GOOD GOOD TURNOUT. AND SO I BROUGHT YOU THE PROCLAMATION. UH HUH. IT'S AWFULLY SWEET. FOUR. BATONS. THIS IS AWESOME. IS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO DO ANYTHING OR NOT, BUT I'M SURE THERE'S PEOPLE. YEAH THANK YOU, NINA. THANKS. REALLY NICE OF YOU. THANK YOU. HAVE YOU SEEN THESE TWO? I THINK, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM LISA HURTIS. LISA HERMITS AND PRESIDENT MCKINNEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. LOCATED AT 1700, NORTH RED BED, SWEET, SWEET ONE RED BED. BOULEVARD SUITE 1 80. I'M A LITTLE EMBARRASSED BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING PARTY FAVORS. UM SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT I DID BRING UM, A STATEMENT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH EACH OF YOU. UM I'M HERE TODAY TO APPLAUD THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING AS YOU TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE OF CREATING A TRULY BALANCED HOUSING, STOCK AND MCKINNEY, NOT ONLY FOR OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY. BUT ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND TOMORROW WE UNDERSTAND THE GROWING HOUSING BURDEN ON MANY OF OUR CITIZENS, RESULTING IN A WORKFORCE ISSUE FOR MANY BUSINESSES, BOTH LARGE AND SMALL. AS COMPANIES ARE LOOKING TO RECRUIT WORKERS, INCLUDING PROFESSIONALS, TEACHERS, MANUFACTURING DISTRIBUTION, HOSPITALITY, ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS, JUST THE NAME OF VIEW. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY TROUBLESOME ISSUE FOR COMPANIES AND MCKINNEY, TOO. NOT ONLY ATTRACT BUT ALSO RETAIN A TALENTED WORKFORCE.AND I DO WANT TO KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT COVID HAS HAD ON. ON OUR WORKFORCE AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND RECRUITMENT AND HIRING. BUT THESE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH OUR MAJOR EMPLOYERS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, AND COVID HAS ONLY EXACERBATED THE SITUATION. IN ADDITION, AS COMPANIES ARE. AS ITS COMPANIES ARE RECRUITING WORKERS AS FAR AWAY AS OKLAHOMA. WE RECOGNIZE THE INCREASED LEVELS OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND WHERE OF OUR ROADS, TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT WITHIN CITY AND STATES BUDGETS TO FUND EVER INCREASING TRANSPORTATION COST? JUST TWO IMPORTANT LABOR DUE TO THE LACK OF HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED THAT SOME OF THE LARGEST PROPERTY TAX PAYERS ARE NOT FINDING THEIR WORKFORCE AND MCKINNEY INCREASING THEIR RISK OF LEAVING OUR COMMUNITY. WHILE YOU HAVE THE TASK OF IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND LOOKING AT SOLUTIONS FOR ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES, WE APPRECIATE YOU DOING THE HARD
[00:05:02]
WORK OF WORKING TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY. AS PROJECTS COME BEFORE COUNCIL OFTEN HEAR OUR NEIGHBORS EXPRESSING REAL FEARS AND CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THESE FEARS AND CONCERNS ARE NOT REALLY ROOTED IN FACTS. AND I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY AS WE ADDRESS THAT MULTI FAMILY MUST BE A PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STRATEGY AND NOT JUST VIEWED AS SOMETHING THAT'S TABOO AS A HOUSING. AS A HOUSING OPTION, IN ADDITION TO AFFORDABILITY, IT IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING A LIFESTYLE CHOICE BY MANY SEGMENTS OF OUR POPULATION. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR MULTIFAMILY. I'M HERE WITH THE STATEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BY OUR BOARD AND MANY OF OUR BUSINESSES, BOTH LARGE AND SMALL, HAVE SIGNED ONTO THE STATEMENT, INCLUDING SOME OF OUR LARGE EMPLOYERS LIKE DANIEL JONES WITH ENCORE WIRE. DAVID BROOKS WITH INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL. RICK MCDANIEL SUPERINTENDENT SCHOOLS WAS IN FAVOUR OF THIS STATEMENT AS WELL. THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO SIGNING ONTO THIS. SO IF YOU WILL, I'M GOING TO GIVE THAT TO YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE WORK TODAY. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PRESENTATION. UM FROM JAMAICA. AWESOME. THANK YOU. ABOUT THEM. THANK YOU, LISA.APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU DO. MARATHON DAY. I'D LIKE TO THANK LISA WHEN I WENT TO THE LEADERSHIP MCKINNEY COURSE EVERYONE IS ASSIGNED A MENTOR. UH AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANYONE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME. AND SO LISA STEPPED UP AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THAT LOCATION. ELSE. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL MOVE NOW TO OUR WORK SESSION ITEMS. 21085 TO UPDATE
[Update on Strategies to Implement the Goals of the Root Policy Housing Study]
ON STRATEGIES TO IMPLEMENT THE GOALS OF THE ROOT POLICY HOUSING STUDY, JEANETTE. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GENETIC HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF MAKENI AND THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU WAS TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK AND INPUT ON SOME OF THE NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE ROOT POLICY HOUSING STUDY. AND TO GET INPUT ON SOME PROGRAMS AND POLICIES. UH FOR ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS. SO WE ARE HERE TODAY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THOSE PROGRAMS AND POLICIES AND THEN ALSO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT SOME NEW OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE PROCESS. SO AS A REMINDER THE TOP FOUR HOUSING NEEDS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE ROOT POLICY STUDY. OR ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE RENTALS, PARTICULARLY FOR RESIDENTS EARNING LESS THAN $35,000.STARTER HOMES AND WORKFORCE HOUSING PRICE NEAR OR BELOW $200,000. TO INCREASE OWNERSHIP PRODUCT DIVERSITY. I E. THE MISSING MIDDLE. AND STRATEGIC REDEVELOPMENT IN CONDITION IMPROVEMENTS, AND I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT EAST MCKINNEY. SO AS REMINDER THIS STUDY TOOK PLACE ALL OVER THE CITY OF MAKENI. THIS IS DATA FROM THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND RESIDENT INPUT AND SURVEYS FROM THE ENTIRE CITY. SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS VISUALLY THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE RENTALS FOR HOUSEHOLDS EARNING LESS THAN $35,000. WE HAVE 6364 MCKINNEY RENTERS EARNING LESS THAN $35,000. YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE TO THEM. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE NUMBER OF UNITS AFFORDABLE TO THEM HAVE DECREASED. AT THE SAME TIME. THE POPULATION NEEDING THOSE UNITS HAS INCREASED. AND THAT HAS LEFT US WITH A SHORTAGE OF 3719 UNITS. SO ON THE ROUTE POLICY HOUSING STUDY FOR STRATEGIES UNDER ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE RENTALS TO THE STRATEGIES WERE EVICTION AND HOMELESS PREVENTION PROGRAM SO THE CITY COULD COULD IMPLEMENT. SO WE HAVE OUR TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND THAT'S A PROGRAM THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT BEFORE.
WE'VE HAD THAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAT PROGRAM AND WE HAVE EIGHT FAMILIES RECEIVING ASSISTANCE SO THAT PROVIDES RENTAL ASSISTANCE FOR UP TO 24 MONTHS.
FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SOME SORT OF DIFFICULTY. WE HAVE ONE FAMILY THAT THE BREADWINNER IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR A DISEASE AND. WHEN THAT TREATMENT IS FINISHED, THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BE SUSTAINABLE AGAIN IN THEIR HOUSING. WE HAVE RECEIVED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT COVID FUNDING. OF ALMOST
[00:10:04]
$1.6 MILLION WITH COVID THAT COVID. THIS IS EXACERBATED THE. ISSUE OF PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO STAY IN THEIR HOUSING. CANCEL JUST APPROVED OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANT FUNDING AND THE ACTUAL ITEM WILL BE COMING ON OCTOBER 4TH, BUT THIS IS GENERAL FUND OF $159,700. AND THAT GOES TO OUR NONPROFITS THAT SUPPORT MCKINNEY RESIDENTS. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE OUR CARES ACT TREASURY FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVED THROUGH COLLIN COUNTY. THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER $5 MILLION, AND THERE'S ABOUT $2.8 MILLION OF THAT REMAINING. CITY COUNCIL JUST APPROVE THE EXTENSION OF THAT ISLAND WITH THE COUNTY THROUGH SEPTEMBER OF 2022, SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO USE THOSE PHONES. AND WE WERE ALSO AWARDED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022 THE RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM. WE GOT ANOTHER GRANT TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR FOLKS WHO ARE HOMELESS FOR 12, INDIVIDUALS OR FAMILIES. FOR 12 MONTH PERIOD. SO ANOTHER TOOL THAT THE CITY CAN USE TO PROVIDE THESE AFFORDABLE ADDITIONAL AFFORDABLE RENTALS IS THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM OR LIE TECH PROGRAM. THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THIS PROGRAM CAN BE UTILIZED. DEVELOPER INITIATIVE. MULTI FAMILY AFFORDABLE IS FOR THOSE EARNING 60% OR LESS OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME. SO THAT'S ABOUT $53,000 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. THIS REQUIRES CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT. SO THIS IS WHEN STAFF WHEN DEVELOPERS COME TO STAFF AND ASK FOR APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THEN THAT'S WHEN STAFF BRINGS AS RESOLUTION TO REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT OR NO OBJECTION TO CITY COUNCIL. IF IT'S APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, THEN THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION EARNS DEVELOPER ISSUES THE BONDS AND EARNS AN ISSUER FEE ON THAT. ANOTHER PROGRAM THAT CITY COUNCIL HAD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN WAS THE LIGHT TECH PROGRAM. PAYS TO REHABILITATE OLDER, MULTI FAMILY STRUCTURES.THOSE CAN BE STRUCTURES THAT ARE ALREADY LIKE TECH PROPERTIES, OR THEY CAN BE MARKET RATE PROPERTIES. UM AND AGAIN THAT REQUIRES CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT. SO WHAT STAFF IS DOING ON THOSE IS KIND OF MONITORING THE CURRENT LIKE TECH PROPERTIES, LOOKING AT THE ONES THAT ARE GETTING OLDER, THAT MAYBE AGING OUT OF AFFORDABILITY AND MAY BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS REHAB FUNDING. SO THAT MAKES THE APARTMENTS NICER AND ALSO KEEPS THEIR AFFORDABILITY. THE THIRD LIGHT TECH PROGRAM IS THE DEVELOPER. UH MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION PARTNERSHIP. DEVELOPMENT LIKE WE DID WITH MCKINNEY FLATS, SO THE INDEPENDENCE OR MCKINNEY FLATS IS A 205 UNIT AFFORDABLE. DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS ACTUALLY RELEASING THIS MONTH AND WE'LL, UH BE COMPLETED IN MARCH OF 2022. SO IT HAS BEEN. IT'S GONE BY VERY QUICKLY. IT SEEMS LIKE, UH, THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION AT THEIR NEXT MEETING AND OCTOBER WILL BE WORKING ON APPROVING MEMBERS. TO A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR A SECOND OR FQ. AND. THE R F Q COMMITTEE BEFORE CONTAINED. A COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO ASK TODAY IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO SERVE ON THAT SUB COMMITTEE TO DRAFT AN R F Q.
KIND OF LOOK AT WHAT THE CONDITIONS OF PARAMETERS OF THE R KEY WOULD BE. AND THEN IT WILL BE BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. THE SECOND NEED THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE STUDY WAS FOR STARTER HOMES AND WORKFORCE HOUSING PRICE TO NEAR OR BALUT BELOW, $200,000. THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING. SO CITY COUNCIL AWHILE AGO ASKED US TO INITIATE A PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT. IT'S OUR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM PMP PROGRAM. AND WE USED CDC FUNDING TO ASSIST INCOME ELIGIBLE FAMILIES THAT HAD GOTTEN CODE COMPLAINTS OR CODE COMPLIANCE THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT FUNDING TO COME BACK INTO COMPLIANCE. IN A LOT OF INSTANCES WHEN WE RECOGNIZE OR FIND THOSE HOMES THAT NEED THE FUNDING TO COME INTO CO COMPLIANCE. WE ALSO FIND THAT THEIR ISSUES WITH THE INTERIOR OF THE HOME. THAT'S WHEN WE CAN UTILIZE OUR CDBG FUNDING FOR REPAIRS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE ARE NEW, AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY OWNERSHIP HOUSING. INITIATIVES UNDERWAY. WE ARE UPDATING OR
[00:15:03]
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES. THEY CURRENTLY ARE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE EARNING 80% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME. BECAUSE THESE ARE CITY FUNDED INCENTIVES LIKE DEVELOPMENT.THE WAIVERS. ORDINANCES FOR STORMWATER FEES THAT ARE WAIVED. WE CAN RAISE THAT 220% A VERY IMMEDIATE INCOME. SO THAT'S ABOUT 106 ALMOST $107,000 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR.
ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED, UH, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE SUPPLY OR INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF THE SUPPLY OF STARTER HOMES IS A DOWN PAYMENT AND CLOSING COST ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. AND THIS IS BEING FUNDED THROUGH THE MCKINNEY HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION THROUGH THE DEVELOPER FEES THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED FROM MCKINNEY FLATS SO THAT WILL BE PROVIDING $10,000 DOWN PAYMENT. CLOSING COST ASSISTANCE FOR HOUSEHOLDS UP TO 120% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME. FOR 25 HOUSEHOLDS THAT'S GOING TO BE PARTNERED WITH AN MCC PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES A CREDIT OF UP TO $2000 A YEAR ON FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE NEW PROGRAMS THAT. THE HFC IS FUNDING WITH THE, UH. MCKINNEY FLATS DEVELOPER FEE.
ANOTHER WAY TO GET MORE STARTER, HOMES AND WORKFORCE HOUSING IS TO USE PUBLIC FUNDS OR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS TO DECREASE THE COST OF SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. ONE OF THE BIGGEST COSTS. THAT GOES INTO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IN THE CITY OF MCKENNY IS THE COST OF LAND. VERY EXPENSIVE, SO THERE ARE A COUPLE WAYS THAT STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED TO DO THAT, UM, WE ARE THE TAXING ENTITY. THE HOLDING ENTITY. THE CITY OF MCKENNY IS FOR THE OTHER TAX FORECLOSED ENTITIES AND PROPERTIES. SO WE COULD IDENTIFY BUILDABLE LOTS IN TAX FORECLOSURE. ā THAT WE COULD&-PPS TO BUILDERS THAT IN EXCHANGE SAID THAT THEY WOULD BUILD AN AFFORDABLE PRODUCT AND SELL IT TO AN INCOME ELIGIBLE HOME. BUYER COULD YOU ONE OR TWO, YOU KNOW LOTS THAT WAY. ANOTHER. SOURCE OR ANOTHER PROGRAM. $200,000 IN CDBG FUNDING WAS INCLUDED IN THE CITY COUNCIL BUDGET, WHICH WAS JUST PASSED AND THAT CAN BE USED FOR A LOT.
ACQUISITION AGAIN TO BE SOLD TO A DEVELOPER OR BUILDER THAT WOULD SELL THAT PRODUCT AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE TO AN INCOME ELIGIBLE FIRE. AFFORDABILITY CAN BE NEGOTIATED AS PART OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. THIS COULD BE BY CITY COUNCIL POLICY OR ON AN OPPORTUNITY BASIS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET CITY COUNCIL FEEDBACK ON COMMUNITY LAND TRUST. AGAIN BRINGING DOWN THE PRICE OF COSTS THE PRICE OF LAND, BRINGING DOWN THE COST OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY COULD DO THAT THE CITY COULD DO THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NONPROFIT PARTNER. OR YOU KNOW, FACILITATE NONPROFIT PARTNERSHIPS, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOMETHING BACK. SO THE THIRD NEED THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE STUDY IS INCREASING OWNERSHIP PRODUCT DIVERSITY. YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THIS SLIDE THAT 96% HAVE OWNERS AND 35% OF RENTERS LIVE IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. 38% OF RENTERS ARE IN SMALLER. CONDO OR APARTMENT UNITS THEY'RE RENTING, THOUGH. AND. UH I CAN'T READ THAT. I THINK IT'S ABOUT 9% ARE IN TOWN HOMES. DUPLEXES TRY PLEXUS. FOUR PLEX IS AGAIN RENTING THEM, SO THAT SHOWS THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE OWNERSHIP PRODUCTS FOR THOSE AND KIND OF THAT MISSING MIDDLE THE DUPLEX TRIPLEX FOUR PLEX.
COURTYARD APARTMENT BUNGALOW COURT. TOWNHOUSE MULTI PLUGS AND THEN THE LIVE WORK. ANOTHER WAY TO INCREASE THE OWNERSHIP PRODUCT DIVERSITY OR PROVIDE MORE HOUSING TYPES IS BEING UNDERTAKEN BY OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT. THEY ARE UPDATING ZONING DISTRICTS AND STANDARDS, SO THOSE WILL BE FOR SMALLER LOT SIZES FOR DUPLEXES. TRIPLEX IS FOR PLEX IS. TO ALLOW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. I BELIEVE YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THAT TONIGHT AT THE JOINT COUNCIL PNC MEETING. AND AGAIN WAYS TO ENCOURAGE DIVERSITY IN SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENTS.
[00:20:01]
LARGER HOME SMALLER HOMES, DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING UNITS. WE COULD DO THAT THROUGH RESIDENTIAL PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS THAT REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. YEAH DEVELOPERS OR BUILDERS HAVEN'T ASKED FOR THE CITY. THE CITY CAN CERTAINLY COME BACK AND HAVE AN ASK FROM THEM. THAT COULD BE BY COUNCIL POLICY, SO WOULD LIKE SOME GUIDANCE FROM CITY COUNCIL. WOULD YOU LIKE FOR US TO BRING EXAMPLES OF THAT BACK TO YOU? OR IS THIS JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR STAFF TO KIND OF KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN AND LET YOU KNOW AS OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THIS ARISE? THE SAME. FOUR INCLUDING HOUSING DIVERSITY TARGETS IN CERTAIN TIMES OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS THAT COULD BE BASED ON SIZE OR GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION. AGAIN THE QUESTION IS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS OR OR WOULD YOU JUST LIKE FOR US TO LET YOU KNOW AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE TO GET THIS SORT OF MISSING MIDDLE. UH, OWNERSHIP PRODUCT. THE FOURTH NEED THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE STUDY WAS STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS AND CONDITION IMPROVEMENTS. SO THIS IS REALLY A NEED ON THE EAST SIDE. AS WE HAVE REDEVELOPMENT IS REDEVELOPMENT IS OCCURRING OVER THERE. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE. KEEPING AFFORDABILITY AND ENSURING THAT AFFORDABILITY REMAINS. ON AUGUST, 3RD CITY COUNCIL AWARDED A CONTRACT TO ECONOMIC AND PLANNING SYSTEMS TO COMPLETE THE CITY OF MCKINNEY NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION SURVEY OR STUDY. SO WE GOT THE ROOT POLICY ANALYSIS OF THE ENTIRE CITY, AND NOW WE'RE REALLY HONING IN. ON THE EAST SIDE AND LOOKING AT HOW WE MAINTAIN AFFORDABILITY THERE WHILE REDEVELOPMENT OCCURS, SO WE'VE HAD OUR KICKOFF MEETING. WE ARE NOW FOCUSING ON CREATING AN OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN. AND YOU CAN SEE THESE ARE THE TASKS THAT ARE PART OF THE HOUSING PRESERVATION STUDY. AND THIS IS, UH, SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF MARCH OR EARLY APRIL. OF 2022. YOU CAN SEE THAT UNDER STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION THERE IS REGULATORY AND ZONING LIMITATIONS SO THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THE ZONING LIMITATIONS, WHICH IS A GREAT TIME BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT PLANNING IS LOOKING AT, AS WELL WITH THE CODE OVERHAUL. AND CURRENTLY, AS YOU'RE AWARE, THERE'S SEVERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PLANNED AND UNDERWAY. ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, UH, WOBBLY PARK. WE HAVE THIS LITTLE MUSEUM COMPLEX THAT WILL BE BEING BUILT. IN PARK IS THE COMMITTEE THAT IS DOING COMMUNICATION AND ENGAGEMENT FOR THESE LARGE SCALE PROJECTS.SO IMPACT COMMITTEE IS. COMPRISED OF THE CITY STAFF THAT ARE ACTUALLY LEADING THE PROJECTS AS WELL AS LIAISON FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR MESSAGE IS IN ANY PART THIS BEFORE THEIR MESSAGE IS FOCUSED IN THAT WE'RE NOT INUNDATING THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH MEETINGS AND REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION. WE ARE IDENTIFYING SMALL SCALE PROJECTS AS WELL. STREET TOPPERS MONUMENT SIGNAGE FOR ENTRYWAYS, PERHAPS SIDEWALKS, STREETLIGHTS, SMALLER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. CDBG TOURIST FUNDING COULD BE USED AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE TOURS. WE HAVE BEEN USING SIP FUNDING FOR A LOT OF THESE ROADWAY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. ONE SOURCE OF FUNDING THAT WAS NOT ON THE TABLE WHEN WE CAME TO TALK TO YOU IN JANUARY WAS THE ARP OF FUNDING THE FUNDING THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN RESPONSE TO COVID. IN THE CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION THERE WAS ABOUT $1.3 MILLION THAT WAS EARMARKED FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S A POTENTIAL. FUNDING SOURCE FOR SOME OF THESE PROJECTS. UH MORE MONEY IS PARTICULARLY WELL SUITED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AREAS. SO JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. SO THIS IS OUR LAST SLIDE AND JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT ON IMPLEMENTING SOME OF THESE PROJECTS AND SAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS AND. WOULD LOVE TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK AND THOUGHTS FROM SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE PRISON. QUESTIONS FIRST. UM, I HEARD SOME COMMENTS.
START FROM. THE BEGINNING WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE RENTAL GAP. UM JUST WANTED TO MAKE A.
[00:25:02]
QUICK OBSERVATION. 35,000 IS ABOUT $17 AN HOUR FIRST. CORRECT. OH, AND A LOT OF OUR OCCUPATIONS THAT WE HAVE SPECIFICALLY AND OUR INDUSTRIAL AREAS. WE'RE GETTING.MANUFACTURING OR DISTRIBUTION TYPE WAGES. RANGE BETWEEN TEND TO $15 AN HOUR. AND THE ROOT POLICY TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, BUT WE'VE ALSO GOT. HUMAN SERVICE INDUSTRY THAT IS GETTING PAID IN THAT RANGE AS WELL. AND SO YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S THE TYPE OF. EMPLOYEE BASE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE THAT. I'VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT COMMENT MADE $17.18 DOLLARS AN HOUR. WIRED TO AFFORD TO LIVE. IN COMMON COUNTY OR TO AFFORD RENT AND COMMON COUNTY. UM THE OTHER THING, I'LL MENTION. AS A I'M GONNA SAY IT A COUPLE OF TIMES IS WHEN WE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS TO THESE, WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL. OF THE GEOGRAPHIC BALANCE THAT PROVIDES THAT SORT. CONCENTRATE. NO SOLUTIONS. AND MCKINNEY HASN'T KIND OF BACKGROUND IN THAT. BUT IT'S ALSO JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT OF. CREATING BALANCE IN OUR SCHOOLS, CREATING LESS BURDEN ON WHAT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. WE HAVE. THAT ULTIMATELY WE HAVE GEOGRAPHIC BALANCE IN THESE SOLUTIONS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE DON'T PUT THEM ALL IN UM ON THE UM. THE. SECOND THE NEXT SLIDE, THE HOMELESS THING, THE TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE THAT IS THAT. CITY DOLLARS THAT WE'RE USING, OR THE PASS THROUGH OF THE. RELIEF FUNDS NO FOR THE T. B R, A TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT IS ACTUALLY FUNDED THROUGH TDH TO, SO WE GET THAT FUNDING FROM THE STATE AND THAT IS 100% GRANT TO FUND IT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED IT IN MY PRESENTATION, BUT THIS PROGRAM HAS 100% SUCCESS RATE. CRYSTAL. TODD ADMINISTERS THIS PROGRAM. EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS GONE THROUGH THIS PROGRAM SINCE WE HAVE STARTED IT HAS RECEIVED AND GOT INTO HOUSING, STABILITY, SO SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF THE PROGRAM AND THE PRIME MINISTER ATION OF THE PROGRAM. AND WHEN WE'RE UTILIZING THOSE DOLLARS ARE WE IS IT JUST TO A HOUSING PROVIDER LIKE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OR SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL? IT'S NOT TOO A SAMARITAN AN AURA SHILOH PLACE THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S TO HOUSING PROVIDER AND THEY PAY THE TENANT PAYS 30% OF THEIR INCOME. THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF INCOME. THEY PAY 30% OF THEIR INCOME AND THE TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. MAKES UP THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AMOUNT AND WHAT THE RENT ACTUALLY IS SIMILAR TO A HOUSING CHOICE. VOUCHER CORRECT VERY SIMILAR.
WHAT'S THE BUG? WHAT. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE EACH YEAR FOR THAT PROGRAM? IT VARIES. IT'S UNDER IT'S CALLED A RESERVATION SYSTEM SO AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN IDENTIFY FOLKS THAT NEED THE PROGRAM WE GO IN AND TRY AND RESERVE THE FUNDS. AND THEN THE RAPID RE HOUSING IS A SIMILAR TYPE PROGRAM. BUT IT IS MORE. RELATED TO COVID RELIEF IS THAT CORRECT RAPID RE HOUSING AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COVID. SO NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF COVID FUNDING, BUT THIS ONE IS THROUGH HEAD AND IT IS FOR FOLKS. WHO ARE CURRENTLY HOMELESS, SO IT'S NOT LIKE AN EVICTION PREVENTION PROGRAM. IT IS PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND IT IS HOUSING FIRST, WHICH MEANS THEY DON'T CONSIDER BARRIERS. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BARRIERS ARE, WE GET YOU INTO A HOME. WE GET YOU INTO AN APARTMENT. WE GET YOU WITH THE CASE MANAGER, WHICH THE GRANT PAYS FOR A CASE MANAGER AS WELL AND SHE IS HOUSED AT SAMARITAN AND. AND THAT CASE MANAGER WORKS WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER ISSUES THEY HAVE THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH THAT ISSUE WHEN THEY'RE IN HOUSING. WHICH MAKES IT A LOT EASIER TO BE SUCCESSFUL THAN DEALING WITH ISSUES WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO EAT OR SLEEP. AND WHAT HOUSING PRODUCT OF A THEY ALSO IN A FOUR RENT PRODUCT. THEY AND INTER RENTAL PRODUCT THAT'S CORRECT EITHER SINGLE OR MULTI FAMILY. SO AND JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MINE MAKING SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS. THE. ALL OF THE ONES UP THERE, EXCEPT FOR THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANT ARE FUNDED THROUGH. EITHER. HUD CDBG. OR. TDH CIA EXACTLY THE ONLY FUNDING THAT WE CONTRIBUTE TO THAT AS 159,000. IT'S 159,000 INCLUSIVE OF THE HOMELESS ALLOCATION WE MADE. NO IT IS NOT SO WE CAN ADD TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANT. SECOND SLIDE. I GOT QUESTIONS ON THIS. YES, SIR. OH, UM. THE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THIS AND
[00:30:06]
I'VE TOLD YOU THIS TONIGHT, BUT I THINK ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PARTNER WITH ME TO IN THIS, UM IS VALUABLE. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT MECHANIC FLATS ON HERE AS A SIX AND SO FUTURE SUCCESS IN MARCH OF 2022. IT MIGHT SAY, HAS DEVELOPED. OR OR CREATED CAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR LIGHT TECH PROPERTIES. AND SO I THINK THERE'S SOME EXPERIENCE. THEY ALSO HAVE SOME RESOURCES.IN SOME REDEVELOPMENT, AND SO UH, MY QUESTION WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIE, TEK. AND THE POTENTIAL BARRIERS OR HURDLES. WE'VE GOT TO GET OVER TO GET THESE. WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING IN TERMS OF PLANNING FOR PREPARING. FOR DESIGNING AND I MEAN THAT LIKE. SHOULD WE BE PICKING OUT AREAS THAT WE THINK THESE PROJECTS SHOULD BE? UM WHAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR SHOULD WE BE SETTING ASIDE. OR CREATING AN IDEA OF A NUMBER THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.
ANNUALLY AND KIND OF SETTING THAT EXPECTATION THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO GROW AT A PACE OF X, THEN WE NEED TO BE INCREASING OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING STOCK IT. WHY? BECAUSE. 35,000 EVERY EVERY EMPLOYEE WE BRING IN. THAT MAKES. YOU KNOW, $100,000. WE'RE BRINGING IN SERVICE WORKERS TO AND WE NEED TO CREATE HOUSING FOR THEM AS WELL. AND SO SHOULD SHOULD WE AS A COUNCIL BE CREATING THAT PLAN A LITTLE BETTER. HER. QUANTIFYING THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH UM. SO UH, SO SETTING SOME SORT OF NUMBER OR PERCENTAGE GOAL. UM FINDING DESIRED LOCATIONS AND MAKING SURE WE HAVE BALANCE IN THAT. AND GOING INTO THE NEXT SLIDE, EVEN IDENTIFYING LAND. AND FUNDING STREAMS FOR KIND OF THE RESERVING OF THAT, BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT ADDITIONAL BARRIERS TO THAT. ONE OF THEM IS. WHAT'S IN PROXIMITY, SO THESE ARE HARD PROPERTIES TO GO IN. AFTER. INFILL WITH, BUT THEY WOULD BE GOOD PROJECTS BECAUSE THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY US. THAT ARE KIND OF, YOU KNOW. THE FOREFRONT ARE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. SO COULD WE FIND SOME WAY TO BETTER PREPARE FOR THESE SO THAT WE'RE NOT CONSTANTLY REACTING TO RIGHT. SO FOR THE DEVELOPER, HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION PARTNERSHIP, THAT IS DEFINITELY. WHERE IT'S A 4% PRODUCT, SO IT'S NOT COMPETITIVE. IT'S NOT LIKE THE DEVELOPERS ARE COMING TO US, SAYING THIS IS THE LAW AND THAT'S USUALLY WHAT IT IS. IT'S USUALLY LIKE THIS IS THE LAW THAT HAS ALL THIS STUFF.
THAT IS GOING TO HELP US SCORE WHAT WE NEED TO SCORE. THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT IS A 4% PRODUCTS, SO IT'S NOT COMPETITIVE, SO THAT'S WHY THE CITY IS IN A POSITION. TO HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE SELECT. THIS IS YOU KNOW THE AREA GENERALLY THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS.
WE WANT TO DEVELOP HER TO GIVE US A PROPOSAL IN THIS AREA. THIS CENSUS TRACK. WITH THESE AMENITIES NEARBY, SO THAT IS REALLY WHAT THE R F Q DOES JUST LIKE WE DID WITH THE INDEPENDENCE PROJECT AND YOU KNOW THERE WAS SOME PUSH BACK AND THERE WAS SOME CONCERN FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT THEY ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEVELOPER. THE DEVELOPER WAS WILLING TO MAKE A LOT OF CONCESSIONS TO, YOU KNOW, DEAL WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS AND IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BY THERE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT. VERY VERY PROUD AND VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THAT THAT PROCESS HAS GONE, UM. BUT I CAN T FLATS IS CALLED THE INDEPENDENCE. I MIGHT NOTE THAT THE PROPERTY VALUES AROUND THERE ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY HAVE ACTUALLY CONTINUED TO INCREASE CONTRARY TO SUCH GREAT SPECULATION BY SOME. THIS OBSERVATION FORGOT WHAT YOUR OTHER QUESTION WAS COUNCIL. IT WAS JUST A IDENTIFYING THE BARRIERS AND CREATING A BETTER PLAN SO THAT WE CAN WE UNDERSTAND. WHAT GOALS WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH ADDING SUPPLY AND THE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT US FROM ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS. AND QUANTIFYING HOW HOW DO WE REACH THEM? HOW DO WE YOU KNOW WHAT NUMBER? HOW MUCH DO WE WANT? WHERE DO WE WANT IT? AND SO THAT WERE WE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. PROVIDING THIS AND FILLING THIS GAP OF NUMBER OF UNITS IN THIS WAY. WE QUANTIFIED THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR THEM WERE PROACTIVE TOWARDS THAT, RATHER THAN. THESE ARE TOUGH TO BE REACTIVE TO THE VERY. UM, YOU KNOW THERE ARE THERE ALWAYS. ARGUMENTS THAT ARE MADE THAT ARE JUST KIND OF. IF WE LEAVE TO THE INDIVIDUAL
[00:35:03]
PROJECT ALL THE TIME, AND RATHER THAN RATHER THAN ADDRESSING KIND OF THE OVERALL NEED, AND WHAT DO WE WANT OUT OF THAT NEED? WHERE DO WE WANT IT? MUCH DO WE WANT THAT? I THINK ALWAYS SUBJECT TO THAT. THE ACTION RATHER THAN PROACTIVE, PROACTIV. IT'S OF LIKE, UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING GOAL, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW MANY AFFORDABLE UNITS. DO WE NEED IN THE CITY OF MAKENI AND HOW MANY SHORT SO THEY CAME UP WITH A NUMBER FOR THIS POINT IN TIME? PERHAPS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD WORK WITH THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ON. YOU KNOW, THROUGH THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESSES AND WHAT ARE THE BUSINESS IS SAYING AND HOW MANY EMPLOYEES YOU KNOW, MAKING THAT PARTICULAR WAGE DO THEY HAVE? AND WHAT ARE THE SHORTAGES THAT THEY SEE AND COME UP WITH THOSE NUMBERS? TO CREATE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOAL OR AT LEAST PRESENT ONE TERM. DISCUSSING I BELIEVE THE ROUTE STUDY ACTUALLY DID WHAT? YOU JUST I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO RECREATE THAT THING THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE AND NOT TO AGREE. WITH WHAT? YOU'RE JUST INSANE, BUT I THINK ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST. AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT COUNCIL POLICY, UM IN IN ADDITION TO JUST TRYING TO IDENTIFY AREAS, UH, INCENTIVIZING COMING UP WITH STRATEGIES AND INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPERS. UM TO INCORPORATE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT CONCENTRATING ANYWHERE WHERE IT BECOMES PART OF OUR HOUSING, STOCK AND WAYS THAT ARE FAR MORE SUSTAINABLE AND EVERYTHING FROM. I'LL JUST SAY QUALITY AND WHAT NOT, BUT. POLICIES THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT THAT INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPERS. I KNOW THAT SOME MIGHT CALL THOSE SET ASIDES. UM BUT. IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL. MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT HERE. WE I THINK WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THAT CONVERSATION. AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE. WE HAVE CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS. MARKET DEVELOPMENTS PARTICIPATING IN THIS SOLUTION IN A WAY THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO IT. THAT PUTS THIS PRODUCT IN A. JUST JUST PART OF THE NORMAL LANDSCAPE. NOT NOT ANYTHING UNUSUAL. NOT ANYTHING DIFFERENT. NOT ANYTHING LOOKED AT DIFFERENTLY OR OR LESS. YEAH. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW. I THINK WE'RE MISSING A SEGMENT.UM YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HIT. YOU WANT TO HIT, THE YOUNG FAMILIES ARE MOVING TO MCKAY. YOU KNOW THAT UNDER $400,000 NUMBER. UM BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO TRY AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOVING APARTMENTS, NOTHING AGAINST HIM, BUT A LOT OF THEM WOULD PROBABLY RATHER LIVE IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES WHERE THEY CAN RAISE A FAMILY. AND I THINK THAT'S A TARGET WERE MISSING AND MECHANIC. TO GETTING DOWN TO THAT NUMBER. SO LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE INCENTIVIZE. SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. AND HOW DO WE GET TO THAT NUMBER? UH, SHOULD BE AGO. LAND. HOW WE CAN PARTICIPATE, AND IT WAS TALKED ABOUT IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE. YES COMMUNITY LAND TRUST. THERE'S LONG TERM LAND LEASING.
WHICH WOULD, I GUESS ALSO. PROVIDE SOME SOME DEGREE OF CONTROL. IF YOU WILL HAVE.
MAINTENANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE MAIN PRODUCT. BUT. A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN DO IS THEIR RESTRICTIONS ON THE CITY OR ONE OF THE TAXING ENTITIES. TO BUY LAND FOR TWO TO RESERVE IN THE FUTURE FOR SOME SORT OF DEVELOPMENT, SO. THEY WE BUY INDUSTRIALLY BY. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LAND TO RESERVE FOR PROJECTS WE COULD BUY FOR. MM MM. YOU KNOW, RESIDENTIAL OUTCOMES THAT WE WANT AS WELL. UM. YEAH, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A. SOMETHING I WOULD I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO LOOK INTO. IN ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, JUST FINDING OUTCOMES, WHETHER IT IS FOR PURCHASE PRODUCTS. THAT WE WANT. BUT IF WE CAN WE DO THAT FOR ECONOMIC DEALS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO IT AND FIND WAYS TO DO IT FOR RESIDENTIAL DEALS. BUT I HAD. AT RISK IN THIS SAYS THAT WE END UP WITH A COMMUNITY THAT IS YOU KNOW? BISECTED BETWEEN THEM. 3500 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE THAT COST $500,000 AND. APARTMENT COMPLEXES WHERE PEOPLE RENT AND THAT'S THE MISSING MIDDLE. AND SO FINDING WAYS TO BRING THAT ABOUT. BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER DEMANDS. ON THIS ON THE LAND. THERE WILL TALK ABOUT IT IN THE JOINT MEETING. THERE ARE OTHER. COMPONENTS THAT WE ADD TO IT AND IN TERMS OF ZONING AND CODES THAT CREATE THAT COST WERE ULTIMATELY HOW WE CAN DEVELOP IS THAT. UM. ON
[00:40:04]
THE SLIDE BEFORE ON THE 200,000. UM THE. NEW, AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY OWNER OWNERSHIP PROGRAMS. YOU SAID THAT. 8200% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN. 65 $100,000 IN INCOME. THAT GET THAT ASSISTANCE AND ULTIMATELY THEY HAVE TO FIND A PRODUCT THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO BUY. IN SOME WAY, AND SO IT'S KIND OF THIS MOVING TARGET OF INCOME. TO PROPERTY. COST. AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KIND OF CHASING IT ALL THE TIMES IT FEELS LIKE, BUT IT'S ALSO. BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO TO HIGHER INCOME LEVELS TO FIND. PEOPLE WHO CAN CAN BY THE PROPERTIES THAT CHASES AWAY. UM A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET INTO 120% OF AREA MEDIAN INCOME, YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT. 303 $150,000 HOUSE ABOUT 106 LITTLE OVER $106,000 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR.WHAT WE REALLY SEE IS THAT INDIVIDUALS HOUSEHOLDS ARE PAYING HOUSE PAYMENT PLUS. AND THEY'RE IN A RENTAL PRODUCT AND THEY USUALLY JUST DON'T HAVE THE DOWN PAYMENT AND CLOSING COSTS. AND SO THAT IS REALLY OUR TARGET AUDIENCE. FOR THIS PRODUCT IS THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY MAKING A HOUSE PAYMENT. THEY JUST DON'T EVER HAVE ENOUGH EXTRA TO SAVE FOR A DOWN PAYMENT. AND THEY'RE ABLE TO BUY THAT $350,000 PRODUCT JANIE, ISN'T THAT I MEAN, I AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT OTHER THAN. THEY ARE MAKING A HOUSE PAYMENT PLUS ON A PRICE HOME THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN MCKINNEY. IT'S NOT A TRUE STATEMENT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR AVERAGE PRICE HOME IS GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED SOON AS 464 $170,000, AND I'M MAKING THAT HOUSE PAYMENT TO MAKING A HOUSE PAYMENT ON $300,000 HOUSE, WHICH GOOD LUCK ON FINDING ONE CITY MCKINNEY. TELL ME THERE'S COMPOUNDED MORE THAN JUST I THINK THAT UM. UM ONE OTHER THING ON THE TOP PORTION OF THAT THE MAINTAINING EXISTING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING SINGLE FAMILY. UM ONE THING I'VE TALKED TO KIM A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BUT. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES THAT EITHER OR, UH, UNUSED AND OWNED BY BY FAMILIES, OR MAYBE THAT NEEDS SOME OF THE ASSISTANCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ARE JUST NEED SOMETHING ELSE. AND. TO SAY OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS CAN BE BURDENSOME OR OR TO, YOU KNOW, FOR A LAYPERSON TO WALK INTO THE CITY AND UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS TO GET TO BUILDING PERMIT OR TO GET TO, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF. UH REPAIRS, A REHABILITATION PERMITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK THAT ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNERS. ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, I THINK IS BENEFICIAL AND THEN, UH, MENTIONED IT AT THE FIRST ONE, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO WORTH SAYING WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CDBG FUNDED EMERGENCY REPAIRS, REHABILITATION UM WHEN WE BROUGHT IN THE BUDGET. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. OUR CBD BUDGET IS RIGHT, LIKE A. ANNUALLY ABOUT A MILLION. THAT'S CORRECT, AND THEN WE TAKE OUT.
SALARIES FROM THAT WE ARE ALLOCATED ABOUT THREE STAFF MEMBERS TO THAT, UM TO THAT, SO WE GET A MILLION FROM CDBG. AND THEN WE USE THAT TO PAY THREE STAFF MEMBERS, SO WE END UP SERVICING. ABOUT $700,000 A YEAR ROUGHLY. I'M JUST MAKING UP AROUND MEMBER. THAT'S YOUR CORRECT, AND SO THAT'S FOR PUBLIC SERVICES FOR OUR REHAB REHABILITATION PROGRAM. AND JUST BACK TO YOUR POINT ABOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS SO ANY INDIVIDUALS OR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE UTILIZING THE CDBG FUNDING? THE THEY ARE FUNDED WITH THROUGH A CONTRACTOR IS SELECTED. THEY SELECT A CONTRACTOR AND THEY GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. SO THE FOLKS THAT ARE IN THE CDBG REHAB THEY HAVE THAT IF THEY CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ASSISTANCE. YEAH I CAME AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, JUST A LOT OF LOTS EMPTY LOTS THAT ARE OWNED BY OLD FAMILIES THAT JUST THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE. EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO GET THAT TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT ULTIMATELY PROVIDES THEM VALUE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VALUES THAT THEY HAVE, ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE SEEING VALUE APPRECIATION, SO. UM BUT I WOULD LIKE MY COMMENT ON THAT IS THAT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK THAT THIS LINE ITEM ESPECIALLY. UM BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OLD MCKINNEY PROPERTIES IS IMPORTANT TO, UM. UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN LEVERAGE A LITTLE BIT MORE IF WE FIND SUCCESS. IN THAT PRODUCT TYPE, AND I THINK WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ROOM TO FIND SUCCESS IN THAT
[00:45:07]
PRODUCT TYPES THAT WE COULD LEVER IT WITH MORE DOLLARS. WHETHER IT IS HOW WE ALLOCATE STAFF. UM. HOW WE PAY FOR STAFF OR ADDITIONAL CITY DOLLARS THAT WERE THAT THIS IS ALL PAST $3 THAT WE'RE UTILIZING. I GOT MORE QUESTIONS. CIRCUIT. SAY THAT THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT IT ON MY QUESTIONS. MY LAST ONE WAS THE. CREATING HOUSING DIVERSITY IN THE NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. UH YOU'VE GOT IN HERE ABOUT COUNCIL POLICY OR AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE, I GUESS. FROM MY STANDPOINT. THIS IS THE WAS LOOKING AT THE SLIDE FOR THE THIRD ONE. UH, YEAH. ALL THIS MAY BE A QUESTION FOR YOU. BUT LIKE. HOW MANY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE APPROVED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. HOUSING SINGLE, FAMILY DETACHED, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE. JEEZ. MAYBE. AND THINKING OF LARGER ONES, MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE. THERE MAY BE SOME SMALLER ONES, SOME INFILL, BUT IN TERMS OF LARGER SUBDIVISIONS, LOOK OVER OVER 30 HOMES OR SAGE. FOUR OR FIVE. THEY'RE USUALLY QUITE LARGE. YEAH, THAT AFTER 2000 AND NINE. I MEAN, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY THAT HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WHEN THEY WENT TO BIG BUILDERS, UH, CREATING THE DEVELOPMENTS AND NOT A LOT OF SMALL DEVELOPMENT. SO. UM SO WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WHETHER IF IT'S COUNCIL POLICY EFFORTS, JUST AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE AND NEGOTIATIONS HAVE WE EVER TESTED THOSE WATERS AND WHAT THOSE YOU KNOW? IF WE WANT DIFFERENT OUTCOMES. WHAT THOSE LOOK LIKE. WELL I WOULD. I WOULD ANSWER THAT BY SAYING WELL, THERE'S ONE BEING TESTED RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S THE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PROJECT, THE COTTON GROVES. THAT'S A PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO BE BRINGING A NEW, COMPLETELY NEW PRODUCT. THIS MARKETPLACE THAT DOESN'T EXIST. REALLY? THE BUILDING MATERIALS ARE VERY DIFFERENT. UM YOU KNOW, CITIES OFTENTIMES GET THEMSELVES IN THESE SITUATIONS BECAUSE THEY RESTRICT AND REGULATE BUILDING MATERIALS AND THEY REGULATE LAND USE, AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT. VERY CANDIDLY TO BE ABLE TO BUILD A PRODUCT. THAT A COMMUNITY HAS HISTORICALLY SAID, WELL, WE DON'T WANT THAT PRODUCT. WE WANT SOMETHING NICER. THE CHALLENGE YOU HAVE WITH THAT IS YOU, THEN LIMIT THE ABILITY TO BRING IN OR TO BRING THE PRODUCT. UM TO REACH THAT PRICE POINT, SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THAT. AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE COMING UP WITH IN WHAT WE MEAN BY THIS ASPECT IS WE NEED. UNDER THE COUNCIL'S DIRECTION. A COUNCIL HAS TO TELL US THIS, BUT WE SUGGEST, AND I THINK THE ROOT HOUSING FOLKS WOULD SAY YOU NEED TO BROADEN YOUR DIVERSITY OF YOUR HOUSING MIX NEED TO FIND STRATEGIES FOR BRINGING. NEW HOUSING PRODUCT, WHETHER YOU WEAVE IT INTO LARGER DEVELOPMENTS, WHICH IS A GREAT THING TO DO. IT'S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO WEAVE IN AN AFFORDABLE PRODUCT IN WITH A LARGER OR HIGHER END PRODUCT. RATHER THAN PUTTING IT ALL IN ONE AREA. UM BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ARE PLANNING STAFF AND OUR HOUSING FOLKS CAN WORK ON. BUT THAT'S A KEY PART. WE HAVE TO BROADEN OUR IF WE'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. AND BRINGING IN DETACHED, SINGLE, FAMILY AFFORDABLE PRODUCT. WE'VE GOT TO BE BROADER AND WHAT WE DEFINE AS ACCEPTABLE PRODUCT IN THIS MARKET. SMALLER LOTS, FOR EXAMPLE, WOULD BE JUST A VERY SIMPLE ONE THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND GRASS GRASP. YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT COMMENTS ON OUR, UH, FIVE O'CLOCK MEETING FOR SETBACKS AND ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT WE. WE CREATE A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THE REQUIREMENTS AND WE'RE PUTTING A WE'RE DOING THIS MISSING MIDDLE AND WE'RE STICKING UP. UH YOU KNOW, FOUR CAR PARKING REQUIREMENT PER UNIT ON A DUPLEX. WHICH YOU KNOW? IT ENDS UP BEING. SOMETHING LIKE 20% OF THE LAND USE AND, UM. I JUST FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WALK IN THE DOOR HAVE WE TRIED THIS? AND WHAT DOES TRYING THIS LOOK LIKE? WE HAVEN'T YET. I DON'T BELIEVE BECAUSE WE GET OUT. THERE ARE CODES TO REFLECT THAT. BUT IN TERMS OF. AND I THINK WE NEED WE NEED A POLICY. YES, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AND THEN THAT'S I THINK I THINK THE QUESTION TODAY AND WHAT'S BEING ASKED. AND AT LEAST FOR ME. THE ANSWER IS. BY COUNCIL POLICY OR AS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE. MY ANSWERS YES, BOTH. BUT COUNCIL POLICY WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DIAMOND, TOO, AND DIVE INTO QUICK AND IT'S ADDRESSING JUST LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, I MEAN BASIS FOR DUPLEX. WELL, THAT THAT AS A DEVELOPER AND BUILDER, I CAN TELL YOU I CAN'T DELIVER AN AFFORDABLE PRODUCT.UM A LOT SIZES. WE NEED TO INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPERS. YOU WANT TO SMALLER LOT SIZES A LOT SIZE. UM WE NEED THAT PRODUCT TO BE TO MEET HER. NEED THAT WE HAVE, UM, WHEN WE TALKED MULTI
[00:50:04]
FAMILY, MAYBE IT'S MAYBE IT'S A HEIGHT RESTRICTION THAT CHANGES. WITH YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING ON A PROJECT RIGHT NOW, IF YOU US AROUND A LITTLE COMMITTEE AND IDENTIFYING ALTHOUGH IT'S WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT HERE, BUT 80% ME, UM, IT WAS ALSO A MISSING NATURE. AND HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THAT SOME VERY CREATIVE WAYS OUTSIDE OF TAX CREDITS OUTSIDE OF SET ASIDES.UM. BUT WE NEED WE NEED A POLICY. WE NEED TO ALL GET TOGETHER ON WHAT THAT IS AND AGREE AS TO WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S PREMATURE. TO TRY SOMETHING IF WE HAVEN'T AS A COUNCIL, YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAME OUT. SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHEN WE GET THERE BECAUSE I'VE HEARD THAT COMMENT. TWO. FOR WHAT? SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME. YES THAT AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS LIKE IT WAS A COMMENT THAT WAS MADE. YOU KNOW, A PLANNING SESSION BEFORE I GOT ON THE COUNCIL. IT'S BEEN A COMMENT THAT'S BEEN MADE FOR A LONG TIME. AS FAR AS THAT'S A TOOL WE HAVE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW WE. ACTUALLY GET TO USING THAT TOOL, AND THAT'S MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE DO? WE DIP OUR TOE IN AND JUST ASK SOMEBODY. DO WE GET THE CODE AND THEN SEE IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED. LIKE WHAT IS THE.
WHAT IS BRINGING THAT TO FRUITION LOOK LIKE FOR US. MY GUESS IS THE ANSWER IS SAYING YES, RIGHT NOW GIVING CONSENSUS THAT WE WANT TO WORK ON HOUSING DIVERSITY STRATEGIES BY COUNCIL POLICY. AND WE GIVE THAT. WE GIVE THAT CONSENSUS RIGHT NOW, THEN STAFF PUTS TOGETHER, UH, POLICY FOR US. REVIEW IT FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS LOOK LIKE? WHAT IF THEY KNOW WHAT HAVE THEY SEEN OVER THE YEARS AGO IS COMING IN. WHAT ARE THE. YOU KNOW WHAT TOOLS DO WE HAVE FROM LOT SIZE LIKE DENSITY PARKING REQUIREMENTS. I MEAN, DON'T WANT TO MENTION IMPACT FEES, BUT THERE'S ALL KINDS OF TOOLS THAT WE HAVE THAT COULD INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPERS TO BRING A PRODUCT THAT WE NEED. AND SO I THINK MAYBE I'M SPEAKING INCORRECTLY. I'M NOT. GIVEN THE CORRECT ANSWER. I BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT NOW. US GIVING YOU CONSENSUS. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND THEN STAFF COMING BACK AND LET'S SCHEDULE. WORK SESSION. THAT'S YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S NOT JUST A REGULAR WORK SESSION. IT'S WHAT WE DO A BUDGET RETREAT, A HOUSING STRATEGY. RETREAT WHERE WE SPEND 4 TO 68 HOURS. UM REALLY GOING THROUGH AND IDENTIFYING. SOME SOME STRATEGIES THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT AND THEN TURN OUR DEPARTMENT LOOSE. WAS THAT. WITH EVERYONE. BE MORE FROM THAT. SOUNDS LIKE FUN. BUT WE GOT TO JUSTIN'S POINT AT SOMETHING THAT IS TALKED ABOUT AND. YOU KNOW, AND THEN IT NOT ON STAFF SIDE. IT DOESN'T GO AWAY. IT'S UM I THINK IT'S HARD TO GET FROM CONVERSATION TO ACTION. AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT IS THE RIDICULOUS IGNORANCE THAT'S OUT THERE AND IN THE POLITICAL WORLD. AND BUT I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF STRONG PEOPLE UP HERE THAT ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO IGNORE ALL OF THAT AND DEAL WITH WHAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE. WOULD BE MY GUESS WE WILL BRING SOME IDEAS TO YOU. SO ARE WE ALL IN AGREEMENT ON THAT? YES. DON'T SAY NO ONE HAS TO AGREE WITH YOU ON THE IGNORANCE PART BUT ON THE POLICY POLICY WE DID, WE'D COME TOGETHER IN A MORE, UM, THOROUGH WORK SESSION ON IT, BECAUSE IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IF WE DON'T TAKE THE TIME RIGHT NOW TO ADDRESS IT WILL JUST CONTINUE TO WORSEN SO IT DESERVES OUR ATTENTION. SO I'D LIKE TO ASK. COUPLE QUESTIONS THAT I DON'T ANTICIPATE YOU CAN ANSWER RIGHT HERE. THEY'RE VERY SPECIFIC. BUT FOR WHEN WE GET TO THAT WORK SESSION OR SOMEBODY COULD PROVIDE IT TO ME IN A LETTER DAY, UM. WHAT WAS THE COST OF MCKINNEY FLATS? HOW MANY AFFORDABLE UNITS DID IT AND TO MCKINNEY AND HOW MANY, UH, UNITS WILL COTTON GROWS AND TO THE AFFORDABLE UNITS AND YES, SHARE. WHILE WE'RE UP HERE, I LOOKED ON A MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE AND I FOUND TWO HOMES IN MCKINNEY UNDER $200,000. THEY WERE ALSO UNDER WELL UNDER 800 SQUARE FEET. UH OH. IT'S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT ECONOMIC PROBLEM TO WRESTLE WITH. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS. IF SOMEONE COULD GET ME THAT INFORMATION AT SOME POINT, IT WOULD BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. IT WOULD HELP ME AND THOUGHT PROCESS I'M GOING THROUGH AND I'M NOT SITTING HERE TELLING YOU I HAVE SOLUTIONS BY ANY MEANS. 19 CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION ON MCKINNEY FLATS. THE DEVELOPMENT COST WAS A LITTLE OVER 38,000 EXCUSE ME $38 MILLION, AND IT PROVIDED 205 AFFORDABLE UNITS. BUT I CAN GET YOU THE BREAKDOWN ON THE YOU KNOW, AT WHAT PERCENTAGE OF
[00:55:07]
AM I FOR EACH OF THE UNITS OF HABITAT PROJECT? I DO NOT HAVE 30 SOME 30 SOME UNITS WHEN IT'S DONE. I BELIEVE WE CAN WE CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WHAT KITTY FLATS IS THAT 123 BEDROOMS OR WHAT 123 AND FOUR BEDROOMS WHICH IS REALLY DIFFICULT MIXED TO FIND. IN MARTIN NEAR HERE. I THINK I'VE SEEN MAYBE 34 APPLICATIONS FOR, UH, TAX CREDIT HOUSING. ARE THOSE BROUGHT ABOUT ONLY BY INVITATION THROUGH AN R F CURE RFP. MM. NO THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT STAFF BRINGS TO COUNCIL THAT ARE NOT PART OF A DEVELOPER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. ANYTHING ELSE IS WHERE THE DEVELOPER ACTUALLY MAKES THE REQUEST TO THE CITY. SO WE HAVE THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT POLICY WE HAVE A POLICY AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT STEPS THAT WE GO THROUGH AND WE DO IN A VALUATION OF THE PRODUCT. WE BRING THAT EVALUATION TO CITY COUNCIL. FOR A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT OR NO OBJECTION OR OPPOSITION. AND SO THOSE ARE ALL THE ONES THAT WE SEE OR THAT WE BRING TO YOU. OUR DEVELOPER INITIATED AND YOU'VE BEEN HERE THROUGH ALL OF THOSE IN MY RIGHT. THERE'S BEEN MAYBE THREE OR FOUR OF THEM PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. WE WENT THROUGH A PERIOD. I THINK IN 2019 WHERE THERE WERE ACTUALLY QUITE A FEW AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH TDH CIA THROUGH THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PROCESS SETS. THE THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE AND THE THINGS THAT THEY'LL FIND, AND IT'S VERY, VERY COMPETITIVE FOR THE 9% PRODUCT. SO I THINK IN 2019 WHAT MCKINNEY HAD AND WHAT TDH WANTED TO SEE MATCHED UP REALLY WELL, AND WE HAD A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO DO THIS 9% DEVELOPMENTS THINKING THAT THEY COULD GET TAX CREDITS. OF THOSE HOW MANY ACTUALLY GOT BUILT OR FUNDED? I DON'T THINK, UH, JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I DON'T THINK ANY OF THEM DID BETWEEN 19. THANK YOU. THEY WERE ALL DECLINED BY COUNSEL. OR THERE IS NOT ALL YET THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH. THE PROCESS DIDN'T RECEIVE. THOSE THAT CAME TO COUNCIL WERE DENIED. I BELIEVE SOME OF THEM GOT RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT. BUT EVEN AT THAT, THEN IT THAT THAT SORT OF OUT OF OUR HANDS AND IT'S WHETHER OR NOT THEY GET FUNDING FROM T. D. H C. A THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ONE IF. WE'VE ISSUED NO OPINION ON WHICH DIDN'T HELP HER HURT HIM, UH, FOR A 4% TAX CREDIT PROPERTY AND NO OPINION IS FINE FOR A LINE ON THE OTHER HAS TO BE ONE OF SUPPORT. AND UH, MERIT WAS DONE WITH A 9% TAX CREDIT. AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST RECENT ONE. SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 2000. 18 19 TIMEFRAME. AND I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT AMERICA. BETWEEN 2000. 12 AND 2019. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY INITIATED 39% PROJECTS AND 14% PROJECT THAT WE'RE ALL DONE. UM, MILLENNIUM POST OAK. MERITED NEWSOME. TWO OF THEM ARE REBUILDING WHAT WE ALREADY HAD FROM 1940. THEY WERE THE THC LOOKED AT HIM HIS NEW PROJECTS. SO LITERALLY, TWO GREAT PROJECTS, AND THOSE TWO WERE WERE AS PART OF A CONSENT DECREE. THAT RESULTED FROM A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND I'M GETTING FAR AWAY FROM THE POLICY DECISION THAT YOU NEED.AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. IF YOU DON'T MIND IF THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE THERE'S A. SORT OF LIKE THE OLD ADAGE YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT ONE FORK AT A TIME OR ONE SPOON AT A TIME, DEPENDING HOW YOU EAT AN ELEPHANT, BUT WE'VE GOT A BIG PROBLEM. BIG CHALLENGE AS A COMMUNITY. UM THE ROOT HOUSING STUDY IDENTIFIED A GAP THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS OUR GAP WHERE WE'VE FALLEN SHORT WHERE WE STRONG.
AND THEY'VE IDENTIFIED THAT DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED THOUSANDS OF UNITS OVER TIME OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCT. HOWEVER YOU DEFINE IT COULD BE IN A MULTI FAMILY FORMAT. IT COULD BE IN A SINGLE DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY OR WHATEVER OTHER. CONCEPT WE'RE TOWN, HOME OR OTHER CONCEPT WOULD COME UP WITH. WE FEEL THE PRESSURE IN BOTH WAYS, THOUGH, BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS THERE AS WE GROW, YOU'RE GOING TO THAT. THAT NEED IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW AS WELL. SO WE'VE GOT THE PRESSURE OF A GROWING ELEPHANT, SO TO SPEAK. BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE PRESSURE OF UNITS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AFFORDABLE THAT COULD GO TO MARKET. IN OTHER WORDS, AFTER
[01:00:03]
THEY AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME, THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE AFFORDABLE ANYMORE. THEY CAN JUST BECOME A MARKET BASED PRODUCT. THEN WE LOSE SOME OF THOSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.AND SO WE'RE FILL THAT PRESSURE ON BOTH SIDES. NONE OF THESE STRATEGIES ARE GOING TO BE THE SILVER BULLET, NOT ONE OF THESE STRATEGIES GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BUT ONCE WE COUPLE AND COMBINED THEM AS A COMBINED SORT OF OMNIBUS PROGRAM. UM ACROSS DIFFERENT SORT OF SUB STRATEGIES, THEN WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME HEADWAY. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME HEADWAY. REAL HEADWAY OVER TIME. THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, I THINK IS VERY, VERY EXCITING PROSPECT THAT COULD AUGER VERY WELL FOR THE COMMUNITY. GOING TO TAKE SOME WORK TO GET PREPARED AND BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL. BUT UM, THESE ARE THINGS THOUGH, THAT WE THINK THAT IF YOU IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE AS ADOPTABLE YOU WANT TO BRING A POLICY BACK HERE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. AND WE'LL PUT SOME WORK TOWARD DEVELOPING THAT STRATEGY. IF IT MEANS UPDATING OUR CODES WILL TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE MORE AFFORDABLE, SINGLE DETACHED, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING PRODUCT. UM VIABLE WILL COME BACK TO UNTIL YOU HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO DO THAT. HERE'S WHAT HAS TO CHANGE. UM AND THAT'S THE KIND OF DIRECTION WE NEED TODAY, AND WE APPRECIATE IT. BUT IT'S NOT ONE STRATEGY.
THERE IS NOT ONE ANSWER. IN FACT, I WOULD SUGGEST IF WE THINK THAT THERE'S ONE ANSWER, WE'RE GOING TO GET DISAPPOINTED. EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE DISAPPOINTED. IT REALLY IS A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUE AND WE DON'T HAVE THE SUPPLY ON THE MARKET PLACE FOR THE AFFORDABLE SEGMENT. AT THE NUMBERS. YOU DON'T HAVE THE SUPPLY PERIOD, HUH? JOHNNY YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED FROM US, RIGHT? YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU, JOHNNY. YOU GOT FROM US AS A BIG JOB. IT'S YOU. UM WE DID HANDLE. COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS AS WELL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSION.
[COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATES Regarding various City Boards & Commissions]
ANY COUNCIL, THE UPDATES. YES, SIR. OKAY SEE, MADE IT TO THE LIBRARY BOARD MEETINGS THERE.UH, COMING OUT WITH THE NEW WEBSITE. I THINK IT'S COMING OUT IN OCTOBER. I WAS JUST TOTALLY FASCINATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN GET THROUGH OUR LIBRARY SYSTEM. UHH I WISH I UNDERSTOOD TECHNOLOGY WELL ENOUGH TO USE IT ALL AND ASK RICK LATER THAT THEY ARE BRINGING IN DATABASES FROM UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND IT WAS JUST TOTALLY FASCINATING. UH THE ITEMS THAT YOU CAN FIND THEIR THEY EVEN HAVE S A T PREP COURSES OFFERED ONLINE. UH, IT WAS. THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE IS JUST IMMENSE. IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SERVICE THAT OUR OUR LIBRARIES OFFER TO THE PEOPLE OF MCKINNEY AND BEYOND.
UM REALLY PROUD OF THE GUYS AND WHAT THEY DO AND THE PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE TWO THINGS WE CAN BRAG ABOUT. THREE THINGS RIGHT NOW. AND NEW CITY HALL. BUT YOUR PARKS IN YOUR LIBRARIES AND OUR LIBRARIES ARE KILLING IT. THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THERE. NEW WEBSITE AND APPRECIATE THE BOARD AND ALL THE WORK THAT THE STAFF PUTS INTO THAT SO HM? SO I TEND ATTENDED THE LAST CDC MEETING. JUST WANTED TO THANK JOHN MUD.

COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE WAS RECOGNIZED AS WELL. SO UH, HE WAS, HE SERVED AS LIAISON, THE CDC AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB, SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO SCOTT PUBLICLY AS WELL. I DID NOTICE THE WONDERFUL BROWN LEATHER BAGS THAT THEY GOT. IT WAS VERY THAT WAS SOME GOOD SWAG. CDC AND I DID NOT GET A BROWN BAG. IF CINDY IS LISTENING, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A NOTE OF THAT. JUSTIN. UM RECOGNIZE, HAVE GOTTEN PART OF VISIT MCKINNEY'S, UM, THEY DID A. NUMBER ONE EXTENSIVE SURVEY. THEY INTERVIEWED A LOT OF COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THEY HEARD THE PRESENTATION FOR THAT. SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT. YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS EXIST IN OUR CITY AND SO THEY HAVE TAKEN THAT IN AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH IT TO COME UP THINK THEY PASSED THE STRATEGIC PLAN TODAY? THAT KIND OF TRYING TO DEAL WITH SOME OF THAT, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN. UM HOW WE CAN READ THAT DATA THAT THEY GOT BACK AND WHAT WE CAN ULTIMATELY DO WITH IT, BUT THEY'VE DONE SOME GOOD WORK WITH GETTING SOME GOOD INFORMATION ON THAT. SO MCKINNEY MAIN STREET, OF COURSE. YOU JUST HAD OCTOBERFEST WITH A GREAT EVENT THAT WAS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE
[01:05:01]
HAVE THE NUMBERS BACK YET. WE HAVE THE NUMBERS FAMILY VISITS WE HAD TO MCKINNEY OVER 65,000.AND IT WAS PROJECTED. NO, THAT CONSERVATIVE. FOR OVER $50,000. OVER OUR 2019. AND THAT NUMBER MAY EVEN BE MORE STILL IN THAT K OUT OF VENDORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE BUT HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
YEAH, IT WAS GREAT, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DID WIN FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE BEER STEIN CHALLENGE. MM AND BRIAN MAYOR BRIAN LOCK MOTHER COMPETED IN WHAT IT WAS REFERRED TO AS JUST THE AVERAGE PERSON. UM, WHICH I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE.
DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD TO BE CALLED AVERAGE. BUT THE AVERAGE PERSON BEER STEIN CHALLENGE BRIAN COMPETED AND. DID VERY, VERY WELL DID NOT. I DON'T THINK YOU WANT BUT DID VERY WELL, SO I WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE BRIAN MARK MILLER FOR HIS IS PATRIOTISM TO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. AND WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL BEER TAP. WE HAD WE DID HAVE SUCCESSFUL TAP. YES VERY WELL. PRESSURE PRESSURE WAS ON BIG TIMES. UM ESPECIALLY WHEN BRIAN TOLD ME THE STORY OF HIM HITTING HIS THUMB. I HAD THAT IN MY HEAD THE WHOLE TIME. UH THAT'S IT. WE'RE GOING TO
[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
